You perfected your craft
of breaking me.
But I mastered the art
of putting myself back together.

There’s a lifetime of a relationship in these four words. The focused destruction of the person (in the first two lines) who has worked out how to break the poet really leaves a sour taste in my mouth; but there is such a sense of resolve in the final two lines that make me want to celebrate. You have overcome this deliberate destruction!

Thank you so much!!
Apologies – that opening sentence should’ve read ‘these four lines’ and not ‘these four words’!!
